Yesterday and the day before, we had the Reach out world live program and it was streamed and transmitted throughout the world. Thank God for the impact of his word .
It's important that we know our calling and our timing. The Lord Jesus said of John the Baptist, that of all men born of women, no one was greater than John; Because John was given a special ministry, to usher in the Lord's first advent in his special ministry as Savior of the world. He was given the ministry to introduce the Lord Jesus to the whole world and to introduce him in a special way and to declare something about his ministry, (when he said he is the one who baptized with the Holy Ghost and with fire), and to help the world see that this is the son of God.
He had this amazing honor to baptize Jesus Christ, the son of God (God in human flesh); And knowing that, when John saw him and saw the sign that he was given (the sign of the holy ghost descend on Jesus in the form of a dove), John immediately bowed himself and said "I am the one to be baptized of you", but Jesus said "No John, suffer it to be so for now, to fulfil all righteousness".
I can imagine with his trembling hands, he laid hands on Jesus. That was an extraordinary moment. That a man would his hands on his maker. But it happened.
It's not unusual that God would give to man according to his choice, whatever honor he decides to bestow.
He brought Abraham into friendship with himself. Abraham was the son of idol worshippers who eventually converted to the one true God. And God sent him with that message to reveal the one true God to his generation.
At the time of Abraham, people were serving many gods at the same time. But God declared to him who he was.
Think about Moses and Joshua and the prophets and David and Solomon.
These were special times and God did something unique with their lives.
This is a very special time in God's calendar and his plan is to do unusual things with us and he is already doing them. Glory to God.
Reach out world:
Our Rhapsody is making impact all around the world. In those days people would use hankerchiefs as a point of contact, and then begin worshipping the handkerchief and Aprons. But Rhapsody is better because after using it to do tremendous things, you can still read it because it contains the word of God.
There are necessary credentials of the heavenly.
When John was in Prison, he sent two of his disciples to meet the Lord to ask of He was the real one or of they should expect another.
Those disciples met Jesus healing the sick and casting out devils.
Jesus told them to go back and tell John what they saw and heard: the blind receive sight, the poor have the gospel preached to them..
He sent them with his credentials.
When you are sent from Heaven there must be Heavenly credentials. God's credentials will prove everything..
That's what you've seen with Rhapsody of Realities all over the world. Because God sent it to the whole world, that's why it can't be stopped everywhere and that's why it's in other languages.
We actually have exceeded 7000 languages. In the course of our research, we found out that there are over 700 languages left. So far 7,858 languages.
The official report of 7,139 is wrong.
If you can, Join the translators network so we can get the Job done real quick.
The covid plan was for the elimination of billions of people. They asked the government's to prepare lands for mass burials and prohibited them from carrying out any post mortems. Every accident, still birth etc were labeled as Covid. Why was that to happen? Because the plan was population reduction. I frown at that for several reasons.
Some agree that there is a population problem.. that's the stupidest thing.
They are trying to tell us that there is not resources.
Who are you to tell us that the world doesn't have enough resources to feed them?
Did you forget the limitations of the Malthusian theories?
Is science now limited to the knowledge of these guys?
The very definition of science prevents them from arrogating themselves as the ultimate problem solvers. Unacceptable! The world will not be limited to the knowledge of a select few. NO!
There will be new knowledge and better understanding.
Rhapsody is going to every man's world. It's God's plan and that's why it's happening. It's not that we are lucky. No!
We are not just fortunate. This is God's plan and he has proved it again and again
It is his plan and work and it will not stop till the King comes back.
Everybody should be a partner of Rhapsody of Realities. Be responsible for taking it to others. While the digital copy very good, for the purpose of evangelism, get the hard copies to give as a gift.
It's easier to give a physical gift than a link.
The physical copy provides us the amazing opportunity to give something to someone else immediately.
Some may not immediately read it but there is an angel behind it. Sometimes when trouble strikes, they pick it up and read it, then something good transpires.
(Video playout: Highlights of the Healing streams)
When you look at the Bible, you see amazing stories of miracles, of God's grace and love. Imagine if He were not the same today? Imagine if he didn't deal with us as he did in Bible days. What would our days be like? Hopeless. But he is the same. He doesn't change. He loves us enough to relate with us. He is so great. We are his creatures. He made everything. And then he loves us, cares about us and sent us his message. He gave us a special free gift of self realization/value/awareness. That's an important gift. And with all of that, a will; A personal will. You can decide what you want. You can make your choice.
All he wanted was for us to use it correctly. He made us in his image. We are like him.
In order for us not to be confused, he gave us the information that we require for the past, present and future.
How much better could anyone be?
Today I want to share some things with you . The month of August was the month of Meditation.
Let me begin sharing thoughts with you from last month.
Proverbs 3
Prov.3.1 - My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments:
Prov.3.2 - For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.
Prov.3.3 - Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them upon the table of thine heart:
Bind the commandments about your neck.
Deut.6.6 - And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart:
Prov.6.20 - My son, keep thy father's commandment, and forsake not the law of thy mother:
Prov.6.21 - Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck.
These are commandments Parents received from God to give their children.
Prov.7.1 - My son, keep my words, and lay up my commandments with thee.
Prov.7.2 - Keep my commandments, and live; and my law as the apple of thine eye.
Prov.7.3 - Bind them upon thy fingers, write them upon the table of thine heart.
It's about God's word.
Prov 3:3
The word translated Mercy means "Covenant Kindness"
Truth means faithfulness, conviction, stability of the heart.... You become unshaken.
1Sam.18.1 - And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking unto Saul, that the soul of Jonathan was knit with the soul of David, and Jonathan loved him as his own soul.
1Sam.18.2 - And Saul took him that day, and would let him go no more home to his father's house.
1Sam.18.3 - Then Jonathan and David made a covenant, because he loved him as his own soul.
David comes with Nothing... And Here is a prince who brings a shepherd boy onto covenant with himself. David has nothing to bring the Prince. Jonathan loved David as his own soul. Isn't this what God means by "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself"?
1Sam.18.4 - And Jonathan stripped himself of the robe that was upon him, and gave it to David, and his garments, even to his sword, and to his bow, and to his girdle.
1Sam.18.5 - And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and he was accepted in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul's servants.
David got everything from Jonathan and went out.
1Sam.23.16 - And Jonathan Saul's son arose, and went to David into the wood, and strengthened his hand in God.
.v16
At this point, Jonathan found out David was in trouble with his Father.
Twice Saul tried to Kill David. Remember Saul was a man of war. But God saved David on the two ocassions and his fled.
Saul even told Jonathan he was a fool for giving opportunity to David. And when Jonathan challenged him, he also threw his Javelin at Jonathan.
(That's how far human love goes. When you offend them, they get angry)
V17
1Sam.23.17 - And he said unto him, Fear not: for the hand of Saul my father shall not find thee; and thou shalt be king over Israel, and I shall be next unto thee; and that also Saul my father knoweth.
1Sam.23.18 - And they two made a covenant before the LORD: and David abode in the wood, and Jonathan went to his house.
Again, they made a Covenant before the Lord.
Something happens years later. .....
2 Sam 9:1-11
2Sam.9.1 - And David said, Is there yet any that is left of the house of Saul, that I may shew him kindness for Jonathan's sake?
The word translated Mercy is the same word translated 'Kindness'... Covenant Kindness .... For Jonathan's sake.
2Sam.9.6 - Now when Mephibosheth, the son of Jonathan, the son of Saul, was come unto David, he fell on his face, and did reverence. And David said, Mephibosheth. And he answered, Behold thy servant!
2Sam.9.7 - And David said unto him, Fear not: for I will surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan thy father's sake, and will restore thee all the land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread at my table continually.
Mephibosheth was promoted to David's table.
David also had to recognize that Covenant Kindness.
Jonathan gave David everything including the throne even though he was the heir apparent.
Proverbs 3:3
Write them upon the table of your heart...
Prov.3.4 - So shalt thou find favour and good understanding in the sight of God and man.
Jesus was in favor with God and man.
Of course there are sons of Belial who never accord you such favor.
But if you want good favor to follow you in your life.... (Some people always run out of favor... There is a way to change everything. There can be a sudden transformation).
Because David was in covenant with Jonathan, Jonathan could give him everything....
2 Sam 21:1
There was hunger and shortage of food for three long years. What would the people have been thinking about David. But David prayed. He knew the dryness was not normal.
Who were the Gibeonites?
They were Amorites.
In the days of Joshua, the Gibeonites came to Joshua and said , 'we live very far away, we just want to help. Make a covenant with us to protect us'. Joshua believed them and later found out they lied to him because they were afraid.
They couldn't kill them because they had signed that pact. So they allowed them to live with them as stone cutters etc.
Years later, Saul in his zeal for Israel, killed many Gibeonites, forgetting the covenant
Years later, the visitation came.
We need to know what God expects..
God is the Judge between human beings.
When he brought the children of Israel into the promised land he told them he wouldn't give them the land all at once but piece by piece.
Years before, God told Abraham that he had given him all the land but he couldn't take possession of it because the iniquity of the Amorites was not yet full..
Jesus said same to the Jews. He said "you have judged yourselves. Fill up then The iniquities of tour father's... For all the prophets that were slain from Righteous Abel to Zechariah the prophet ".
God was saying " Just keep going about your evil ways. When your cup is full, I will take action against you".
Saul did the evil but they were not visited in his day but in the days of David.
Some families face some things and no one is asking why. If you ask God why he will tell you. Some Parents who were in the Cult and destroyed other people's children, expecting that their children would do well...
Don't you know that there is a measurement 9f sin? At the appointed time, actions will be taken. Not by those you have afflicted but by the laws of God.
Was your grandfather's house a bloody house?
Do you think it doesn't matter?
There are things that happen.
David himself was not suffering it but it was a corporate sin.
When you are a child of God, you are a watchman. You pray and he will give you guidance.
The Lord gave David guidance.
Even when the children of Israel demanded for the 7 sons on the lineage of Saul, David Saved and protected Mephibosheth because of Jonathan
Write the commandments on your heart so that good things will happen to you
Ps.45.1 - My heart is inditing a good matter: I speak of the things which I have made touching the king: my tongue is the pen of a ready writer.
My heart is composing something
You compose something through meditation. You are musing and constructing it inside.
"Ready writer" to be skilled and diligent.
My tongue is a pen of a skilled and diligent writer.
How do you use your tongue? When you speak.
My tongue is the pen for writing in my heart/spirit.
Use your tongue. It is your spiritual pen.
This is very important.
There are benefits for this kind of meditation
Ps.119.97 - MEM. O how love I thy law! it is my meditation all the day.
Ps.119.98 - Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they are ever with me.
Ps.119.99 - I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies are my meditation.
Ps.119.100 - I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts.
Ps.119.101 - I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word.
You are not afraid of your enemies because you are wiser than them
What are the testimonies of God: They are the proclamations and declarations of God.
Josh.1.8 - This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.
You may have it in your heart but you are going to have to write it with your tongue.
The word should not leave your mouth. Keep saying it. Keep talking the word; not your experience, not the circumstances, not the pain.
God is not trying to understand the seriousness of your problem.
Don't look at the seriousness of your problem. Look at the power of your God and his willingness to help you. Shut your eyes against the conditions.
Be like Abraham. Say "against hope I believe in hope". Inspite of the hopelessness of the situation I believe what I see in the spirit. .
When they give you the bad news, shut your door and begin to declare that you see and hear God only.
If you meditate, your life will necessarily happen according to what you see. It will happen. You will observe to do.
When we are praying for success and Victory, we are praying for the wrong thing. It's not God that's going to make it happen. Remember, Joshua was the leader of the whole Israelite army.
Remember, Moses was praying when the Israelites got to the red sea.
But God told Moses to stretch his hand over the sea and divide it.
Now again he tells Joshua... "For then you will make your way prosperous"
Do you want to make your way prosperous? Or do you want to be praying?
You can carry the prayer but that will not help. When we pray we are talking to someone listening to us who already knew your problem before you started the prayer.
All his promises in Christ are YES AND AMEN.
As far as what you want is consistent with Christ, his answer is YES.
Nothing is too good for you.
The principle is clear.
Ps.49.3 - My mouth shall speak of wisdom; and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.
When you meditate on God's word, when you speak, it will be words of wisdom.
Prov.16.29 - A violent man enticeth his neighbour, and leadeth him into the way that is not good.
Prov.16.30 - He shutteth his eyes to devise froward things: moving his lips he bringeth evil to pass.
Violent men entice others into their wickedness. That's how people's sons get influenced in a neighborhood.
V30- froward means to be habitually rebellious and opposed to good things.
The guy is just used to being wicked and rebellious. Opposed to authority, headstrong all the time
He imagines froward things...
So when he talks, he brings evil to pass.
It starts from his heart and his lips do the rest.
What if you shut your eyes to devise positive things? When you move your lips, you will bring good things to pass..
Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.
Out of the abundance of your imagination and meditation, you bring forth.
Oh, The good you can bring into your life with the power of your mind.
Your life is the character of your thoughts.
Even in Genesis 1... The earth was without form and the spirit of God brooded ... That means that the Spirit of God was Incubating. Have you ever seen a Hen sitting over her eggs until her egged hatch out chickens? Without that incubation, the birth won't happen.
The spirit of God shut his eyes and devised what the earth would be like.
Then moving his lips, he brought things to pass "Let there be".
That's why this month is the month of Meditation and declaration.
The level of meditation has moved forward.
Through the Meditation something is going to happen and you will bring it forth by the power of the Holy ghost.
The grace of God is at work in your life.
It's your month and you will effect changes.
Any day in the month that the spirit of God tells you, Fast.
Sometimes you will need to fast to contemplate, to bring it to pass. You would Meditate and the Lord will bring words to your mouth which you will release to the realms of the spirit. And when the clouds are full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth.
